Nice hat Ray!

Hey wait I've got one almost like that!

I really like this idea for weighting flies. I'm not really adding weight I'm creating a lifelike impression. Yeah that's it.

Big confusion on my part... I was trying to thread krystal flash through "micro tubing"!!! I tryed it through "MIDGE" tubing and it goes through like a breeze!

Nice hat Yukon Ray!

You should try Ninja fly fishing!

VERY Cool tye Donald..........Love it. In your opinion.....would all that Salley's have any (smell) affect, in terms of "catching?" It looks great.....but i'm just curious as to your thinking. Tkx.,

I wouldn't think so Mark, if you give it enough time to dry, there doesn't seem to be any smell.
Maybe I should try the Ultra-violet dried coating next time.

w-h, Howdy;

Don't think Ray put a tag on the end. The wet specimen showes the wire running the length of the shank. Maybe to fatten
it up and add some weight ? The underbody is tan thread, maybe that is what looks like the tag ???

Only my thoughts and opinion...
